UNSPSC 22101502: Graders

UNSPSC 22101502 Graders (Commodity) covers motor grader purchases and leases by state departments of transportation, counties, and special-purpose equipment cooperatives; state and local agencies are actively buying single and multi-unit motor graders for road maintenance, construction, and grounds care operations. Recent solicitations show a mix of new equipment purchases with detailed manufacturer specifications, used equipment acquisitions for cost efficiency, and three-year to five-year lease arrangements. The Florida Department of Transportation District 2 issued an ITB on September 11, 2026 for one new Weiler G65 Motor Grader with F.O.B. delivery by June 30, 2027 and sealed bids due September 28, 2026; Colquitt County, Georgia solicited bids on two new motor graders with slopers (CAT 140, John Deere 670G, or equivalent) under an IFB with a June 30, 2026 response date and a five-year warranty requirement; and Neshoba County, Mississippi issued multiple ITBs for used 2021-model-year or newer motor graders in July and August 2026. The issuing-body mix spans state transportation departments, county road and bridge departments, and municipal governments; the Florida Sheriffs Association also posted an equipment cooperative vehicle in September 2026 for construction and grounds care equipment including motor graders to serve sheriffs' offices statewide.

Geographically, the most recent activity concentrates in Georgia (Colquitt County, Seminole County, Elbert County leasing a grader) and Mississippi (Neshoba County's back-to-back solicitations for used equipment); Florida shows sustained activity across both FDOT and the sheriffs' cooperative procurement. A cooperative purchasing RFP issued by Sourcewell in May 2026 for law enforcement equipment (which included graders in a broader equipment solicitation) suggests multi-state participation across Washington, Minnesota, and other jurisdictions. The Illinois Department of Central Management Services issued an IFB in July 2026 for asphalt equipment including grader-mounted rotary milling attachments as part of a five-year joint purchase master contract with 4% Business Enterprise Program participation goal. Motor grader deals typically carry detailed specifications tied to horsepower, moldboard width, transmission type, cab configuration, and warranty terms (ranging from 36 months to five years); in-state price preferences appear in Florida procurement, and buyback provisions are increasingly common in rural county procurements seeking equipment lifecycle cost management.
